From my early childhood I was fascinated by the Hanging Gardens of Babylono or at least any green space that was more vertical than horizontal (cascade gardens) or a roof garden. So, when I saw this article http://ellidavis.com/toronto-real-estate-news/2013/04/roof-garden-tips-toronto (it was highly unlikely to find it on a realtor's web), my childhoood dream reignited. Sadly, I don't have my own roof to begin with, but I was thinking about asking other people living in our building if they have anything against turning our (presumably) unused roof into a nice little garden. But I am not naive, I know that it would be a tough one, to convince people.

I just want to ask here: do you have a roof garden (post pics if you do )? If so, what are the main disadvantages that you've personally encountered? + have you encountered any legal obstructions when doing this? Thanks so much for any answers!

Being a contractor for most of my life I will give u one certain step in the process tho. A railing . . . to building code standards . . . will have to enclose whatever area that people are given access to.
